This is so ridiculously petty if true.
I don't understand what's preventing these big media and journalism outlets from embracing the #fediverse. you have the resources to fork Mastodon and add QTs and better search or whatever you want. isn't independence a core requirement to do good work?

Well part of it is that a lot of #journalism may not have those resources after all.
With budgets being squeezed and internal debate over future directions of the organizations, there might not be resources--money and attention--available for them to do the work to embrace #fediverse.
Forking #Mastodon for #QTs
and such, adding it to institutional workflows isn't a trivial thing as you make it out to be!
